Juvenile Section

The investigators of the Juvenile Section of the Criminal Investigations Division are assigned the duties of investigating all types of crimes committed by, or against, children less than seventeen years of age. The most common offenses against children investigated by this section are child abuse/neglect, sexual assault/indecency with a child, and other assaultive offenses. Runaway, shoplifting, theft, and assault are the most frequent offenses committed by juveniles investigated by this section.

The Juvenile Section works closely with the Montgomery County Juvenile Probation Department, as well as with the Children's Protective Service (CPS), a division of the Texas Department of Protective and Regulatory Services (DPRS). All reports of child abuse or neglect occurring in Conroe and reported to the CPS are referred to the Juvenile Section for follow-up investigation. Additionally, the investigators assigned to the Juvenile Section participate as staff members of the Children's Safe Harbor operated by the local Child Advocacy Center.
